Happy Friday: It’s National Flip-flops Day, on which we honor the rubber version of the traditional Japanese zori sandals lugged home by American GIs after World War II. The Hiroshima Rubber Co. began exporting the popsicle-colored footwear to the United States in 1950.

The sandal’s name comes from the sound flip-flops make when walked in. That makes it an onomatopoeia. 101 more of them here, including several that helped make the late, great Adam West a star. (You can rumble through the list in a zip.)

Changes: Starting June 19, we’ll be delivering three newsletters a week, including a Monday event update, a Wednesday newser and then the traditional Friday roundup. Breaking news, of course, sent out as it happens. Same snarky repartee you’ve come to know and love.

Fries with that? The Island added 20,000 private sector jobs in the year ending in May, led by a surge in hiring by the hospitality industry.

Tiara power: Impish Lee, the Sea Cliff-based online custom lingerie marketplace, is celebrating summer with a new line of Diana Prince-inspired underthings. (You know her better as Wonder Woman.)

ICYMI: Billionaire industrialist Gene Haas has funded a scholarship program for Farmingdale State College engineering technology students.

Who you gonna call: Port Authority Chair John Degnan said the agency’s two-year search for a CEO has failed. (So maybe now they can give the job to the one guy who expressed interest – LI’s own Pat Foye.)
